Here is a one-sentence bio: Jay is passionate about all things
related to fish and fishing.

He is a fish biologist fly tyer; angler; writer; photographer;
artist; teacher; storyteller; mentor; and life-student. “My heart
pounds every instant I’m on the water with something pulling
back on the end of my line. I’m also husband, dad, grandpa,
retired, working, and continually wrestle with the elusive concept of “balance” in life.”His professional career as a fish biologist with the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife spanned four decades. A Wild
Salmon Hall of Fame Inductee in 2006, Retired from the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2007to work as the
senior Salmon Scientist at the Wild Salmon Center;
retiring finally by 2014.
As far as fly tying goes, he is heavy into Pacific Salmon flies and
winter steelhead flies. The last several years provided an opportunity to delve into the
world of saltwater flies fished for bass, lingcod, salmon, and albacore. Finally, he has published over ten books on Amazon, a portfolio
of writing that spans science and art, from serious to silly, with fish and fishing as unifying theme.
